If buying a house in London is completely out of your price range, why not buy an entire village in Spain instead? While the average price of a home in the UK capital is now £523,400, according to Zoopla, the ‘ghost village’ of Matandrino, which is on the outskirts of Madrid, provides the opportunity to snap up a real bargain. Here you will get a lot more bang for your buck, by becoming the owner of the six-century-old location that is just 4,251 square miles. For £154,000 you will get all 17 buildings in the village, which is about one hour and 30 minutes from the Spanish capital by car. But there is a catch.

Automobile pioneer Henry Ford’s onetime winter home, which now comes freshly renovated, has hit the market for $4.49 million. Located just outside Savannah, Georgia, along the Ogeechee River in the city of Richmond Hill, the colonial-style property was constructed in 1870.

No regrets…’ says Steve Riseley, looking up at the castle – Castle Elvira in Italy’s Puglia region – that he now calls home. ‘Too much blood, sweat and tears, but no regrets.’It wasn’t always this way.

Property Projects in UAE continue to sell like hot cakes – in a matter of days if not hours. This is happening even as the real estate market is predicted to witness slower growth this year after a strong rally over the past three years. Expectedly, those who are driving the demand are high net worth individuals, foreign investors and residents who are snapping up the latest luxury projects to cash in on lower price tickets as compared to other major cities around the world.
